Chapter 27: 26 | Heat Cycle

"Blue, what a surprise to see you here!" Oliver exclaimed with a cheerful tone.

"Oliver, I told you not to come here." Blue said with a hint of rebuke in his tone, facepalming himself.

Oliver only laughed in response to this, then set his gaze on Winter.

"Sunshine Prince, how are ya?" Oliver friendly acknowledged Winter.

Winter was used to people calling him ’Sunshine Prince’. He had accepted the nickname for a long time and was cool with it. However, he couldn’t understand why he despised hearing Oliver call him that name.

Without thinking, Winter’s reflex reaction to Oliver’s greeting was to fake a smile on his face and say, "Hi. You’re Oliver Rivers, right? I’ve heard about you. Nice to meet you."

The only thing that Winter had ’heard’ about Oliver was that he was Blue’s friend with benefits. Other than that, he basically knew absolutely nothing about Oliver. He only knew that he disliked the guy.

Despite that, Winter put out his hand for a shake and Oliver took it with a firm clasp that only lasted for a second. Afterwards, Oliver invited himself to sit down next to Blue and scouted their empty table.

"No snacks? Should I order something?" Oliver was not even directing his question to Blue and Winter. His eyes were already scanning the café for a waitress so he could place an order.

Hives broke out on Winter’s skin from annoyance. Just who did this Oliver kid think he was!? He just barged into their ’date’, invited himself to sit with them, and now he even had the guts to want to order something!

Was he crazy or what!? Winter was getting fed up with Oliver and it had been less than three minutes since Oliver arrived.

"Don’t order anything. We’re already done here." Blue spoke up.

A small frown made its way to Winter’s face as he looked at Blue.

’Done here? What do you mean we’re already done here?’ Those words were stamped across Winter’s forehead as he looked at Blue.

Blue could clearly see them, but chose to ignore them. He stood up to his feet and said to Winter, "If there’s any other thing you’re unclear about, send me a text."

Oliver followed suit, standing up as well. And oddly, his hand naturally wrapped itself around Blue’s small waist and helped him step out of the table.

Winter burned with jealousy and annoyance watching this scene.

But Oliver and Blue were oblivious to his annoyance. Blue wasn’t even showing any signs of aversion to Oliver’s hand around his waist.

Oliver bid farewell to Winter and walked out of the café with Blue. Winter’s eyes didn’t leave the two of them until they disappeared from his line of vision.

"Fuck!" he suddenly cussed aloud.

That stupid Oliver! Who did he think he was to hold Blue so intimately!? Who even was he? Rivers? Winter had never heard the surname, Rivers, in any high society gathering.

Winter instantly took out his phone and gave Logan a call. The latter picked the call after three rings.

Without saying any formalities, Winter said, "Oliver Rivers. Tell me everything you know about him."

One would think that Winter was some top-class agent demanding info about his target. The thing was that Logan was a real-life informant. It was safe to say that he knew everything about everyone because he liked to gossip.

"Oliver Rivers, huh... He’s a Beta, twenty-one years old, a photography major in his third-year. No dad, single mom who works as a civil servant. It’s said that he once worked at a hookup bar, but that might as well be a rumor. He’s a flirt who ’falls in love’ every now and then. He’s a typical average guy." Logan relayed to Winter all that he knew about Oliver without holding back.

From the day that Winter had first asked him about Blue’s and Oliver’s benefit relationship, Logan had known that it would only be a matter of time before Winter would demand to know about Oliver’s background.

But unfortunately, there was nothing out-of-the-ordinary with Oliver’s background.

And that was what made Winter even more angry. He terminated the call and left Logan rolling his eyes from the other end in annoyance.

Winter thought to himself, "He’s not rich. He can barely pass off for having average looks. So why does he get to have Blue!?’

It would have been better if Oliver was a male god descended upon earth, but he was just an average guy. And a Beta at that. What gave him the privilege to be friends with benefits with Blue!?

It was either Blue had no taste or Oliver was very skilled in bed, Winter concluded.

Meanwhile, Blue and Oliver had just stepped into Blue’s apartment. Without even shutting the door properly, Oliver had already captured Blue’s lips and began to kiss him.

A soft moan escaped from Blue’s mouth at the action. He reached to break their kiss, but Oliver intensified it, using his tongue to part Blue’s lips and invade his mouth.

Oliver’s tongue whirled around Blue’s mouth and the latter forgot that they had other things to do besides being intimate.

Blue was lifted off his feet by Oliver and placed on the couch with Oliver not even breaking their kiss. Blue’s shorts were the first things to come off and cold air slapped his bum skin, evoking a muffled moan from his mouth.

Oliver finally broke their kiss to take off his shirt, saying, "Fuck, it feels like it’s been forever since we last did this."

Blue’s head was spinning and too occupied with the need for pleasure to respond.

Blue’s benefit relationship was not so simple that they would call each other up when they were in the mood for doing ’it’. The only time when they got together was during Blue’s heat cycle—a cyclical period in an Omega’s life that they would become incredibly fertile and aroused with the irresistible biological urge to mate.

Normally, an Omega was supposed to spend their heat cycle with an Alpha, but since Blue was a special case that despised Alphas, he had to settle for a Beta.

Spending a heat cycle with a Beta was not encouraged but Blue had to get by in that way. However, for the past few months, he had been spending his heat cycles alone with the help of suppressants—a very terrible and dangerous thing to do.

But now, Oliver was here to help him through his cycle. And his help would be thoroughly given without holding back.
